1.629 Renewable Energy Source Credit

Origin: Starting with taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, partnerships, limited liability corporations, or other legal entities subject to the personal income tax that provide training to a qualified trainee through an authorized training program may claim a temporary authorized training tax credit for emergency assistance. A qualified individual is an individual receiving benefits through the emergency housing assistance program pursuant to G.L. c. 23B, § 30. To qualify for the credit, a taxpayer must (1) have a place of business in the Commonwealth; (2) conduct an authorized training program in the Commonwealth that is in compliance with recommendations of the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development ("EOLWD"); (3) enroll the qualified trainee in an authorized training program on or after April 30, 2024; and (4) meet any additional requirements determined by the Executive Office for Administration and Finance and EOLWD. The credit is equal to $2,500 for each qualified trainee that receives the training from the entity. The amount of the credit that exceeds the tax due for a taxable year may be carried forward to the subsequent taxable year. The credit is subject to an annual cap of $10,000,000. The credit may no longer be claimed as of (1) January 1, 2026; or (2) the taxable year in which the end of the capacity limitation on the emergency shelter assistance program occurs, whichever is sooner. See TIR 24-7 for more information.
